Hozier - Take Me To Church - Acoustic [ Live in Paris ]

Показать описание

Hozier comes from County Wicklow, Ireland, not far from Dublin, and right from the first seconds listening to him, we just know that this tall man was gifted with amazing guitar skills, and a mind-blowing voice that just pierces right through your (religious) soul. While this incantatory voice echoes around us, reaching us with off-putting simplicity, we just wonder where this humble yet impressive guy - still unknown not so long ago - comes from… His single 'Take Me To Church', that he performed for us the day before going on stage for the Rock en Seine festival, is an outraged call against homophobia and hate. It was released on his first EP 'From Eden', and is most likely to end up in the track list of his upcoming album, releasing September 19.

I prefer acoustic versions of song cause how raw and beautiful it sounds. I love it!

Absolutely adore how his tone turns so dark and silky when he says 'she's the giggle at a funeral'

This song can be stripped to its core and still stand as strong.

pianystrom

You know its a good singer when, the acoustic vocals is better then the original.

cocono

Yes, this is a beautiful piece, but can we just take a moment to acknowledge how gigantic his feet are.

he should redo this but in a cathedral like the bastille and passenger ones. That would be good to hear.

Lyrics:

My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner

If the heavens ever did speak
She's the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week

"We were born sick, " you heard them say it

My church offers no absolutes
She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom."
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you

I was born sick
But I love it
Command me to be well
Aaay. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life [2x]

If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice

Drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine-looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful

That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life [2x]

No Masters or Kings
When the Ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin

In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Amen. Amen. Amen.

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life [2x]

*you're welcome*

Croissante

I was born sick, but I love it. Command me to be well
Amen.

Can we talk about the intro where he speaks french? I just melted like an ice-cream

hozier has something that not many people can replicate, it is something integral to this song. it's a powerful voice to control the emotion of the song. i listened to other people singing this song but they sounded off because they can't convey emotion with their voice.
